Bethany Groot
Undergraduate Ministry Staff Team Leader

Bethany is a proud Aggie alumnus who majored in Sociology and has been on staff with Intervarsity for seven years!  She loves cooking for others, music jams, playing sports (go Warriors!), learning about new cultures, and having meaningful conversations about life. InterVarsity was her core community when in college and it has continued to play a significant role in my her discipleship--her love for communal study of God's word, her joy in multiethnic worship, her heart for prayer, her longing for justice and racial reconciliation, and her identity as God's beloved. She thinks Jesus is pretty awesome and her hope is that others get to "come and see" Him for themselves!
